Sybase DataWindow Web control for ActiveX

The Sybase DataWindow Web control for ActiveX is an interactive DataWindow control for use with Internet Explorer that implements all features of the PowerBuilder DataWindow except rich text.

Functionality

The Web ActiveX is fully programmable and supports DataWindow events, methods, and dynamic modification of the DataWindow object. The user can modify and update data. The RichText presentation style is not supported.

Client requirements

The control uses ActiveX technology and works in Microsoft Internet Explorer only.

The user must download the CAB file for the component, which is less than two megabytes in size. Database connection through JDBC occurs from the client, which must be configured with the connection software. The software can be downloaded from the Web server.

DataWindow behavior that would compromise security of the client, such as the SaveAs functionality, is disabled.

Server requirements

The JDBC database connection can access databases on a remote server.
